Sometimes I think Dan and Phil are totally platonic besties and then other times I’m convinced they fuck on the daily. I think they do it on purpose and it’s honestly iconic.
kind of the best thing is that they are that and everything in between. you can tell they just like being around each other. they've made content together for 15 years and the large majority of it was done in the strictly platonic sense for their audience. and they were still having so much fun with it. we're in the 'we know you know' era now so we get to see flashes of different dynamics they have, but they absolutely have more we Don't get to see bc they're not for us.
they like each other. stupidly fond of each other. spending time together doesn't feel exhausting. they're best friends and each others' harshest critics while being the biggest hypeman and also safe space.
dnp's relationship with us, their audience, always has been and always will be different than any other content creators. part of it is how they accumulated it, but another part is just the massive history we have with them. they Get us. they Know us. they're silly goofy sarcastic guys who love us and hate us sometimes. theyre grateful but careful too. they like to rile us up, just like they do each other. it's a love language, teasing, and we've shown positive responses to it over the years. i like to say that my relationship with dnp is antagonistic sometimes--cause i know they're pushing my buttons on purpose. and ykw? it's fun! it's fun for us and it's fun for them because they have the control. i know anything they let out is cause they chose to let it out because they Know how we are. so yes they absolutely adore messing with us. we're a funny bunch.

I know some people like to headcanon the Straw Hats retiring, Sanji opening a restaurant, Usopp going back home to Kaya, etc. but like... my ideal happy ending for the crew is really that they just keep sailing together Forever.
Like... those 40 year old and even 60 year old versions of the Straw Hats that Oda has drawn?? There's no reason that they can't still be sailing together at those ages. We've seen tons of old pirates in OP! There's no reason for them to turn 40 and retire. Hell, there were babies growing up on Roger's ship. Let them get married and have kids and live their dreams and just keep being pirates together!! Why would they ever stop?

if i had More Brain, i would write about ex-pro chef bakugou. that like. was once world renowned and at the top of his game. that was on his way to opening a second restaurant in his name and had all the money in the world and was probably like. a guest judge on tv shows — the one that would just tear contestants to shreds about burning their creme brûlée, or something.
and then something happens, idk: he's sabatoged, maybe, and an important critic has bugs in their food, or his cocky attitude lands him in hot water. he's offered business advice from an old mentor and ignores it because he thinks he knows better, that he's too hot right now to slow down until he has no choice. maybe having it all wrapped up nice and neat for him isn't as exciting as it was when he was sweating his balls off, trying to make sure every dish that left the kitchen was perfect, from the moment dinner started until the moment they closed for the night; something changes.
very publicly goes missing from the spotlight. for a little while. he can afford to, so it's not a big deal financially, but there are little whispers about him, what happened. the truth probably isn't even out there, just a whirlwind of rumors about why he's gone now. and people move on fast, when you're just another big name among a thousand others.
it's not for a few years until he decides to start again, from the ground up. doesn't want help from anyone, doesn't want any ties to the life he lived in his early 20's, whether his name has been tarnished or not. he just — wants to begin anew.
the little place he opens is small, menu not very lengthy because — and he finds this out as he's drafting dishes on a sticky note — he's very suddenly terrified that he's lost his edge, after so long. he doesn't really want anyone knowing who he is or what he's doing; if he fails, then he wants to do it quietly, out of the spotlight. without all the eyes on him.
bakugou can't run the place by himself, much as he'd like to.
the food? no problem. after so long, he'd like to be in the kitchen alone, searing and seasoning and plating it all himself — but he can't very well walk each dish out. whoever he hires, he decides, has to be so far from the world he used to live in, someone that doesn't recognize his face or the paring knife-sharp tone of his voice.
you just need a job. that's all you tell him. whatever mysterious desperation you try to hide in your face, he doesn't ask after. you don't know who he is — don't seem to care, either. in the interview, when he asks why here, why you, your answer strikes him in a way none of the others did, all the other shmucks he considers.
"i just moved to the area and —" you pause, eyes dancing around the closet-sized backroom he's tucked away in. when you look at him again, your eyes are shining, glassy with something he's seen in his own reflection. "gotta start somewhere, know what i mean?"
and yeah. he does.

You sent me an ask so I shall return the favor! What is the most recent Kpop group you’ve gotten into and how did you find out about them? I always love hearing fan “origin stories” lol
Thank you for returning the favor~ That would be The Boyz 🥰💖 I love hearing fan "origin stories" too hehe (This is gonna get long I love them sm)
Anyways I've known about them since debut? I loved Bloom Bloom Pow with my whole heart when it came out and tried to fall for them then- It didn't work. The next time was when The Stealer (TS) came out~ I had watched them perform for Road to Kingdom- because ptg was on the show too- But I really loved TS cb- sm so that I bought the album about 6 mos later with my favorite members as inclusions at the time (Eric, Kevin and Hyunjae). But nothing came about of it even after watching the weekly idol episodes... Then came Whisper era and I ended up biasing Changmin (Q) and loving that song but again nothing came out of it.
(A little backstory is that Changkyun (I.M) got me into Dominic Fike's music-) Thus, when tiktok showed me Juyeon, Changmin, and Sunwoo dancing to Babydoll earlier this year as a dance cover: I fell. And then I finally checked out Watch It~ But Hui had his solo and it distracted me completely from falling further. Then I had gotten sick and decided 'well, what if I watch their content?' And I did... I watched their hello82 interview and their reaction to fanart of them, and lastly their mafia dance. And I loved each sm that I decided to check out more.
It was the first time I had watched their content and wanted to see more. And now, I watch their content almost daily. It's kind of like they revived the joy of kpop for me? My (old) ult of ults has been on hiatus due to the military so it's been stagnant content lately for me. But then they came in like a breath of fresh air- and I simply can't get enough. This month will be 3 mos and I honestly hope I'll follow them for a long time. (I think they're my new ult of ults tbh)
And lastly now here I am as a Younghoon and Juyeon bias (with bias wrecker: Changmin... he's doing everything to be bias again). And with them having a comeback I loved with my whole heart this past month, I think it really solidified them with me. Honestly, I'm so happy with them.
